The exhibition unfolds in three sections: Mossi’s childhood influences, from soccer to Bollywood films and Madame Grès; the history of craft traditions through a dialogue with the Mucem collection; and the dialogue between contemporary art and his collections.

A large, elongated clothing rack runs throughout the gallery, serving as the exhibition’s connective thread. Bringing the couturier’s studio into the exhibition space, it holds garments, artworks, texts, and curtains. At once a support, a partition, and a continuous element throughout the exhibition, it structures and sequences the space, guiding visitors through its different sections.

The minimal design reflects a commitment to a more resource-conscious approach to exhibition design, prioritizing an economy of materials and the reuse of elements from past exhibitions. This simplicity allows the garments, artworks, and stories that make up the exhibition to remain at the center.
